Jane's Stuff

Jane enjoys drawing and painting. Join her. Doodling, drawing, ART - all of it is great for brain health! Check out Jane's Youtube channel below. And if you see a picture on my blog you would like to purchase send Jane an email (or check out Jane's store).

OK, so I recommend that new Blake book (see post from yesterday). I've been looking at this afternoon and copying some of his illustrations. I'll post one below. Blake's voice is so humble. This book is full of bright full-color illustrations that make you smile and think and....I just the love the way he draws!

Above is a quick pic of some of Blake's birds. Aren't they cute?

I had to try and draw a few. See below:

OK, so I didn't draw just birds on this page but most are birds. The owl right in the middle (a bit off-center) is my husband as an owl - -notice the mustache below the beak. Looks just like him. :)

This pic is a few years old -- he doesn't have his round glasses on it. The owl is wearing round glasses. Now my husband looks a bit like Teddy Roosevelt:

I hope Teddy and Shannon don't mind!

Next, I have to start working on my coloring techniques (and more pictures for the portfolio. I continue to submit to literary agents my book about Ruthie and Marcie. I have renamed it: The Marvelous and Amazing Adventures of Ruthie Bell and Marcie Smart: Two Friends on a Mission.)
